In a remarkable feat, Industrial Accessories Company (IAC) and its construction subsidiary, Adelphi Construction, have successfully completed over 1,056,980 man-hours without a lost-time incident. This substantial achievement is not merely a statistic but a testament to their commitment to safety across various operational fields, including fabrication shops and job sites throughout the United States.

The success reflects a robust company-wide safety culture that underscores how deeply ingrained safety practices have become at IAC and Adelphi. According to Jason Scollin, Vice President of Safety and Risk Management, this remarkable milestone is attributed to the diligent pre-task planning, vigilant hazard reporting, and ongoing safety training that they have invested in across all business sectors. Scollin emphasizes that these numbers are not mere luck, but rather the outcome of careful planning and decision-making from each team member every day.

“This milestone belongs to every crew member who plans their work, identifies hazards before they become incidents, and looks out for the person working next to them,” Scollin stated, highlighting the collective responsibility that employees share in maintaining a safe work environment.

Neil Riddle, Vice President of Construction at IAC, also praised this achievement, noting that it reflects the trust that customers place in Adelphi as a reliable partner capable of delivering safe and effective work at every job site. Riddle emphasized, “That trust is earned one project at a time, and safety is the foundation all of it stands on.”

Continuing to build upon this strong foundation, IAC and Adelphi are dedicated to ensuring that each employee returns home safely after every shift. This ambition runs deep within the operations and is reflected in their proactive approach to safety.
